Baby carrots are small, tender carrots that are often sold in bags as a convenient snack. They are typically made from larger carrots that are cut and shaped into smaller pieces. This process helps to create a uniform size and makes them easy to eat raw or add to salads. These carrots are popular for their sweet flavor and crunchy texture. They are a healthy snack option, low in calories and high in vitamins, particularly vitamin A. Baby carrots can be enjoyed on their own or with dips like hummus or ranch dressing.
